This is not a bug but was a side affect of previous changes made that was still 
existent in 2.57.  Setup did/does requires setup.ini.  The more recent version 
from CVS that Chris and Robert have been working on so heavily doesn't have 
that requirement and will now find all packages in the directory - even without 
a setup.ini, but I would venture to say that he existence of a setup.ini for 
othe features in the works is the desired approach.
